AN FRANCISCO —
Travis Ishikawa last
week hit a three-run
homer in the bottom of the
ninth inning, sending the San
Francisco Giants to the World
Series with a 6-3 win over the
St. Louis Cardinals.
The every-other-year Giants
clinched the National League
Championship Series (NLCS)
in Game 5 and now face the
Royals in an all wild-card Fall
Classic that begins Tuesday,
October 21 in Kansas City.
Pablo Sandoval singled to
start the ninth against Michael
Wacha, making his first
appearance of the postseason
for the Cardinals. After an out,
Brandon Belt walked to bring
up Ishikawa, who drove a 2-0
pitch into the elevated seats in
right field.
Ishikawa hit the first
game-ending homer in NLCS
history. And it was the first
time a homer sent the Giants
into the World Series since
perhaps the most famous drive
ever in baseball — Bobby
Thomson’s “Shot Heard ‘Round
the World” in a 1951 playoff.
Ishikawa knew right away on
his first career postseason
homer, raising his right arm
into the air as he watched his
ball sail into the seats. He was
immediately mobbed at home
plate after he rounded the
bases as fireworks shot off from
the center field scoreboard.
Pinch-hitter Michael Morse
homered leading off the eighth
against Pat Neshek, who
replaced Adam Wainwright to
start the inning, to tie it 3-all.
Morse was batting for
Madison Bumgarner, who was
named NLCS MVP.
